Today we wrote a set of instructions to make jelly. To make it more exiting we added in some wine gums and peaches. After we wrote our instructions we then made the jelly my group had six people in it so we had to share all the wine gums and peaches out evenly. Our group had the lemonade jelly crystals. Our jelly looked really good and I hoe that we get to eat it.

In week 6 Totara got givin a problem which was to make a 3D salt dough sculpture, to decide what we were going to make we had to investigate using a brainstorm and google images. I decided to make a 3D cupcake. Then we explored on the Internet for different recipes and ingredients to put in the recipe. Totara decided to use the recipe with two cups of flour, one cup of salt and one cup of water. After we had shaped our sculptures we baked them in the oven. The next day we painted them with any colour! I chose to put some glitter on the wet paint to make it look really sparkly. I really liked doing the salt dough sculptures and I hope I can do them again some other time!
